Ford Galaxie

The Galaxie was a car marketed by Ford in the sixties as a version of the Ford Fairlane. It mainly competed in NASCAR. A minivan known as the Ford Galaxy is marketed in Europe, but is unrelated to the classic Galaxie. A special edition known as the Galaxie 500 was also available, and is the subject of a song by rockabilly revivalist The Reverend Horton Heat. In the comedy film Spaceballs, protagonist Lonestar says he comes from the Ford galaxy.
